AudioAlchemy WMA Edition
-
Version
2.3
AudioAlchemy WMA Edition is a fast, easy-to-use,
highly configurable, and affordable audio conversion
tool that provides settings for speed, quality,
bitrate, frequency, channels, and much more. Convert
from WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, AIFF, AU, VOX, RAW, PCM, GSM,
ADPCM, g726, g721, g723, MPC, and MP+ to WMA in a
snap. It can also convert existing WMA files to a
different bitrate, frequency, and/or channel setting;
for example, converting a 192 kbps WMA to 128 kbps for
use in a hardware device that requires a specific
setting or does not support the higher bitrates.
It provides frequency settings ranging from 8 Hz to 48
Hz, and bitrates ranging from 5 kbps to 192 kbps. This
extensive bitrate range allows for maximum control of
the conversion output. When disk space is an issue,
such as for portable WMA players, select a lower
bitrate to conserve space. Otherwise, when audio
quality is a must, select one of the higher settings.
Furthermore, Constant Bitrate (CBR) options are
available for the best compatibility with both
hardware and software WMA players, and Variable
Bitrate (VBR) is also provided for further optimized
file sizes.
All conversions are performed directly from the source
format to the output format, which increases overall
conversion speed and eliminates a possibility for
potential quality loss. Additional options include the
ability to automatically transfer audio tags from the
source format to the conversion output files,
alternate MP3 decoding engine support, complete drag
and drop support, recursive add path capabilities, and
much more.
Added to all the technical capabilities, one of the
major advantages of using it is ease of use.
Significant care was taken to ensure the software’s
user interface is easy to use, yet without sacrificing
the powerful functionality. Conversions can be
performed on an entire batch of files simply by adding
them to the list (via the Add button, menu item, or
drag and drop) and clicking the Convert button or menu
